The Weekend at a Glance
Reserve a hands-on workshop seat, drop in for the free demonstration, or do both. Seats for the workshop are limited and tend to go fast.
Tropical Trees Belong in New England Too
Most of us grow cold-hardy trees, so tropicals can feel like a different world. They don't have to. With the right timing and care, tropical bonsai is one of the most rewarding and approachable ways to grow year round.
Approachable for beginners
Tropicals are forgiving, fast-growing, and a great entry point if you're new to bonsai. You'll leave with a tree and the confidence to care for it.
Meaningful for experts
Experienced growers get real technique: structure before ramification, wiring strategy, and how to push transformation without overworking the tree.
Built for our climate
Jesus focuses on what actually works here: July timing, recovery, light, watering, pest prevention, and indoor overwintering.
Plan Your Visit
Whether you're here for the workshop, the demo, or just to browse, the whole nursery will be buzzing all weekend. It's the perfect time to refresh your collection and stock up.
